In honor of Skin Cancer awareness month, Apex Skin held a free skin cancer screening on May 23rd at all 5 locations successfully screening 160 patients. 1in 5 Americans will have skin cancer during their lifetimes, and skin cancer screenings are crucial to diagnose and treat quickly and effectively. The most common type is Basal cell carcinoma, while the deadliest type is Melanoma, often found in young patients.

Dr. Jorge Garcia, founder of Apex Skin says, “Since we opened in 2011, Apex has offered free skin cancer screenings during Skin Cancer Awareness month. Our providers volunteer their time to grow awareness about the importance of skin cancer screenings and as it happens each year, together we may spot a few melanomas and save people’s lives.”
